18."BY RENUNCIATION ALONE CAN IMMORTALITY BE ACHIEVED"

-

"Renunciation alone is the seat of fearlessness":-

------------------------------------------------------/

If the previous slokam deals with a hypocrite, this one is a real renounced, who has truly relinquished all his inner thirst for enjoying the world out side. True dispassion brings real happiness to all. In the world outside, we find even emperors sorrowing, the rich worrying, the powerful man anxious, the man of accomplishment jealous...............................all are unhappy. Everyone points out the other man who, according to him, is happier. But the only one who has the courage to declare and truly feel that he is happy, is he who has relinquished all his passions and hungers from within.


"Such an individual may have no shelter of his own than the shade of a tree in the courtyard of a temple. He may sleep there under it on the naked ground. He may wear nothing but a dear skin! or ( a piece of  cloth around his waist ).  Renouncing thus the entire idea of possession and relinquishing all attempts to seek one's fulfillment in life through objects of the world, he lives happily - ever self-sufficient unto himself." This is what narrated in the 18th slokam, here.
